Kenny Omega announces mocap work for Street Fighter 6
A video game enthusiast, Kenny Omega, has now joined the team of Street Fighter 6 by doing the motion capture of Alex, the main focus of Street Fighter 6 Year 3’s DLC character.
On January 21st, 2026, Omega was “happy” to announce his role of doing mocap work as Alex in Street Fighter 6.
“Incredibly happy to announce that I’ve done some big mocap work as Alex in Street Fighter 6. Can’t wait for you all to see more, he’s my favorite character in Street Fighter.”
Before announcing his role in the video game, Omega also reacted to the Street Fighter 6 Alex trailer launch, where he teased his resemblance to Alex. In the trailer, Alex can also be seen performing Omega’s iconic V-Trigger knee strike and the One-Winged Angel finishing move, while also adopting his body language and stance.
“It’s almost like looking in a mirror”
In addition to his Street Fighter 6 announcement duties, Omega also wrestled and won on this Wednesday night’s Dynamite against Josh Alexander in his first singles match since AEW All In Texas.
Alex is the third DLC character from Street Fighter 6 Year 3, following the release of Sagat and C. Viper last year, in 2025. Alex will make his Street Fighter 6 debut on March 17, 2026. Street Fighter is also set to release a live-action movie this year, starring Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Jason Momoa, Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, and more.
